Samsung to showcase world’s first ‘stretchable’ display

Samsung on Monday said it will showcase the world’s first “stretchable” panel during the SID 2017 hosted by the Society for Information Display US tech fair.The South Korean company said the stretchable OLED display is unique since it can bend in both directions, while previous flexible panels could only bend in one direction, Yonhap news agency reported.

Industry watchers said the stretchable display calls for more complicated technology than any other displays in the market and can be considered the ultimate product in flexible technology.

The company said its display can stretch as much as 12 mm when pressed and yet still maintains a high degree of resolution.
